# RenewalMate + SocialMate: The Two-App Stack Every Small Business Needs

Running a small business means paying for things — software subscriptions, tools, services — and promoting those things on social media. Most businesses pay too much for both. There's a smarter way.

The Problem

The average small business wastes hundreds of dollars per year on forgotten subscriptions and pays $99/month for social media tools they don't fully use.

Two tools are quietly solving both problems for a fraction of what the big players charge.

RenewalMate: Track and Cut Subscription Costs

[RenewalMate](https://renewalmate.app) is a recurring expense tracker built specifically to fight subscription creep — the slow accumulation of monthly charges you forget you're paying.

Connect your accounts and RenewalMate surfaces every recurring charge: software subscriptions, SaaS tools, streaming services, business utilities. You see everything in one place, identify what you're not using, and cancel the waste.

For small businesses spending $500–$2,000/month on software stacks, the savings are immediate.

SocialMate: Promote Everything for $8/Month

Once you've got your expenses under control, SocialMate handles the other side — getting the word out about your business across every social platform you care about.

Schedule posts across Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, Telegram, X/Twitter, and LinkedIn. Use 15+ AI tools to write better captions, threads, and hooks. Bulk-schedule a month of content in one session.

Pro plan: $8/month. Agency plan: $29/month for 15 seats and 5 client workspaces.

The Stack in Practice

A small business running both tools:

  • Saves money by cutting unused subscriptions via RenewalMate
  • Spends less on social media tools by switching to SocialMate
  • Shows up consistently across social platforms without a marketing team
  • Two tools. Under $10/month combined for most businesses. That's the stack.
